THE SEX, RACE AND GLOBALIZATION PROJECT
Rockefeller Humanities Residency Fellowships 2002-03

The Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies at the
University of Arizona is pleased to invite applications for Rockefeller
Humanities Residency Fellowships for the 2002-03 academic year.

The Sex, Race and Globalization (SRG) project explores the imbrication
of sexuality, gender and race with economic, political and informational
processes across local, regional, national and transnational scales.  Noting
that global movements of capital, information and people are facilitated,
blocked, and diverted by sexual, racial and national categorizations, even
as cultural formations are reshaped by "globalization," we seek to
describe and explain the links between exploitative economic processes and
structures of sexual, gendered, and racial inequality.

Seeking to broach the boundaries between studies of culture and studies
of economic, social and political processes, we invite applications from
interdisciplinary scholars or scholars trained in any discipline interested
in pursuing interdisciplinary work.  Recognizing that "globalization" is
a transformation of prior systems of global economic and political
interaction, we welcome applications from scholars working in or across
various historical periods.  While the SRG project sustains the commitment
of lesbian/gay studies to recognizing the significance of sexuality, we
seek to develop alliances among identity and area studies fields and,
therefore, welcome applications from scholars who have not worked in the
context of lesbian/gay studies.

Located 70 miles from the US-Mexico border and the export-processing zone
across the border, and surrounded by Native American reservations, Tucson
and the University of Arizona provide a particularly appropriate site for
the study of global/local, cultural and economic processes.  The university
features vibrant programs/departments in Comparative Cultural and Literary
Studies, Women's Studies, Latin American Studies, American Indian Studies,
Mexican American Studies, and Middle East Studies (among many others)
as well as top ranked departments in numerous fields.  It is also the home
of the renowned Center for Creative Photography.

Fellows will receive a stipend of $35,000, travel/research funds ($5000),
a moving allowance ($2000), an office, and full access to university
libraries, computer systems, recreational facilities and the many
scholarly and cultural programs offered across the university.

Application Deadline: December 1, 2001
